Vertigo

On my last night in Bangkok before shipping off to Chaiyaphum, we decided to treat ourselves to a bit of luxury at a place called Vertigo on the roof of the Banyan Tree Hotel. It’s an open-air rooftop bar that sits 60 stories above the city, and the views are incredible.

The place was full of people pretending to be posh, so we actually fit in nicely. I ordered the cheapest drink I could find (a $9 mojito) and spent about three hours drinking it (I know, I’m classy). But Simon ordered a bottle of wine, which made all of us feel better about staying there for hours snapping photos of the city with our little 5-megapixel cameras.

If you’re ever in Bangkok, check this place out for at least one drink. For the price of two or three drinks on Khosan Rd., you can spend a few hours at one of the top 20 bars in the world.
